Foreign trade performance and the process of openness of french industrieal firms
in the eighties,
by Thierry Francq.
This paper aims at presenting foreign trade performance and the dynamics of openness of french industrial firms. Disparities between hte various categories of firms have been studied in the light of desagregated surveys which provided a special framework enhancing strandard macroeconomic analysis. A first descriptive approach showed that the slowing down in the process of openness during this period was
not part of a general change but was actually due to a limited number of firms equally firms have even targeted growing domestic markets rather than foreign trade which actually did not show more dynamism from their point of view. Asecond analytical approach highlighted the two main patterns of behaviour of french firms in the 1980's : a first category has followed a clear strategy of growth, seeking expansion on new markets, while others just aimed at restoring their profit margins. Consequently, the later have experienced a slowness in real investment as they oriented their activity on the domestic market. As a result, the analysis in terms of patterns of behaviour provides a better understanding of the slowing down in the openness process of french industrial firms than the sectorial approach.
